Childhood toys in the adult world

Growing up is hard to do

Childhood toys in the adult world

Throwing away the toys of your youth is one of the toughest moments you're likely to encounter in life.

Photographer Julien Mauve knows this pain and has created a set of inspired images that imagine how our toys would look when transported to the adult world.

The results easily appeal to our nostalgic side and have us heading straight to eBay to buy back all those toys we threw away. If anyone happens to own figures of both He-Man and Battle Cat then do let us know. Urgently.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
